<.< It’s weird that this is news while the entire trump family is grifting like their lives depend on it.

Mehdi does a lot of holding right wing people's feet to the fire too. Hunter Biden was just having a moment recently and it wouldn't be reasonable to not hold him to the same standard. I believe his people booked the interview after congress started barking about grilling him again. Nothing wrong with reminding people that yes, this guy is a PoS, but an irrelevant PoS and a congressional witch hunt doesn't change that he's a distraction.

Well, maybe not like their lives depend on it, but the window of time for them to do their smash-and-grab is not going to be infinite.

Either other cons will shut them out of it because they are jealous or this shitty admin will have to at least leave office, and his family may have to flee the country.

Dude barely made a mill selling paintings over the 4 years iirc. Trump made that in illegitimate earnings last week.

So let's attack Biden over his son's medical issue while ignoring the billions that Trump's family is making.

I was happy to cheer for him when his greatest flaw was his severe drug addiction, and loved watching him clap at conservatives perl clutching etc... over him.

But this meme coin grift. He's litterally burned the leg he was standing on. and it's a fricking stupid reason to do it because it's going to flop big time because.. 1. people on the left aren't as quick to jump into a ponzi grift like meme coins. 2. No one will ever imagine the biden's taking power again, and thus no millionare with half a brain is going to be investing in this coin for hte purposes of political influence.

Dude, you don't have to pick! You can hate two different kinds of corruption at the same time.

Also there is no medical condition that makes you sign onto the board of a Ukrainian energy company. That's rare even for crackheads.

Liberals are just as bad as conservatives. It's a team sport to them, and if you dare point out a flaw about their team they get defensive and accuse you of being on the other team.

People love focusing on fleas when they’re being attacked by tigers.

As long as the coke-fiend daddy's boy stays out of politics then who cares what he does. I dont understand why Hassan bothered with this interview.
